The proper term these days would be "spark challenged"!

you're confusing voltage and current. voltage is like the boss, and current is like the workers. the brick wall doesn't get built if the boss isn't around, but the boss doesn't lift a finger when he's around either, but is there to motivate the workers to get stuff done.

there's a minimum current requirement to the system. the starter won't turn. otherwise, the rest of the system-- the ecu, and relays, are all low current, automotive voltage rated devices. so they'll comfortably operate down to around 9 volts.

Well, thanks for getting back to us.

- that's for not payen attention to what ol @soundman98 told you up in post #4 ("did you check the fuses on top of the battery?")

Now, iffen you think the aftermarket CAI makes a "helluva" difference, that is OK - jest be calling out and Mustangs, just because you have a CIA -

Now that's one brain fart that you have used up on here -
